@ cossie1600, it was awesome man you can feel the G's on some of the turns and the fact that there are a bunch of exoctics flying by you makes everything an unforgetable expirience. @ChrisSlicks, do you think the stock rotors are up for the challenge or are there better options? I read a lot here about over kill and all that stuff so I don't want to over do it. Are 2 piece rotors really necessary?

The stock rotors (on the sport) are a beefy 30lbs each, that's a pretty massive heat sink and they don't seem to have any trouble. Heat build up becomes a problem in longer sessions and that is where brake ducting becomes useful, but yes, 2-piece rotors are overkill for most people. 2-piece rotors are actually more prone to overheating without thermal management since they have 30% less mass. Their advantage is that they have more freedom of expansion independent of the rotor hat, so less prone to distortion.
